Depends on the reason, ministers are entitled that their instructions are followed. Whether those carrying it agree is irrelevant. That may be an ethical policy or an odd way they like their briefs prepared. I don't think it's unreasonable that a SoS pulls up a CS tasked with said job. I don't think anyone would object to that, its all in the manner and why the bullocking is given.
That's a generic point rather than the report about Raab.
